California hospital selects RelayHealth's HIE

Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP) of Monterey, Calif., has selected RelayHealth's HIE connectivity tool.

The 205-bed community hospital will roll out RelayHealth's results management technology to the medical community this fall. CHOMP will then add other components of the HIE network for physicians, including e-prescribing, referral management, colleague-to-colleague communication and connected orders, according to the Atlanta-based company.

For patients, the HIE will offer messaging services to communicate with their physician and the group practice staff, including personal health records, prescription refills, appointment scheduling and delivery of lab results. 

CHOMP will also use the system to share data with the Bay Area HIE, a collection of hospitals and practices currently sharing information for the improvement of healthcare in their northern California communities, RelayHealth added.
